PlayStation VR Set Up Tutorial

Making the Right Connections

Make sure that you’ve properly connected the cables to your PS VR, PlayStation 4 system, PlayStation Camera, and TV. If the PS4 system screen does not appear on both your TV and VR headset, check your connections. For details, refer to the Quick Start Guide supplied with the PS VR or the PlayStation VR Set Up Tutorial.

Getting Ready to Play

Limit your use of PS VR to within the Play Area. You can interact with games more directly because the camera captures the position, direction, and movement of your VR headset.

Blue area represents the width and depth of the Play Area. The height of the Play Area depends on the range captured by the camera.

Make sure that bright light from windows, mirrors, or room lighting does not shine into the camera.

Avoid pointing the camera at light-emitting devices such as computer monitors.

Clear an area larger than the Play Area of all obstacles before using PS VR.

It is recommended that you charge your wireless controller ahead of time, then disconnect the USB cable before play.

Playing while wearing glasses

You can continue to wear your glasses while wearing the VR headset. When adjusting the scope position, move the scope slowly so that the internal lenses and your glasses do not touch each other and become scratched. Depending on the size of your glasses and the shape of your head, the lenses may come into contact with your glasses.

Getting the Most from PS VR – View Content

When in cinematic mode, if the screen you see in your VR headset has drifted or isn’t centered, you can try the following to correct the issue.
